He Turned Obsessed

Synopsis

The first time I saw the warning, I was training with Carter Hopkins. The comments told me I would one day be struck down by his sword, my inner core shattered, left crippled and discarded, and eventually tortured to death by wandering outlaws. At that moment, Carter was standing behind me, correcting my grip on the sword. I stiffened. The blade slipped from my hand and clattered to the ground. Carter and I had grown up together. I never believed he would ever hurt me. At first, I thought I was either overtraining, losing my mind, or cursed by some foreign spell. But then came the annual entrance trials for the Lumenism Sect. Among the new disciples, a breathtakingly gifted lady took first place. And then the comments flooded in again. [Reeva is here. This is where Carter falls for her at first sight.] That was the moment I gave up my last shred of denial. I started avoiding them. I didn't want to be the tragic side character who dies horribly. I just wanted to live. But something about Carter started to feel wrong.
